Getting to know Mariana Tiwari
Mariana Tiwari is an Associate Clinical Social Worker currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their CA license number is #115896, and their current employer is Mariana Tiwari, Psychotherapist (ASW).
I help women break free from self-doubt, people-pleasing, and the weight of expectations. If you feel stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by relationships, or disconnected from yourself, I provide a warm, supportive space where you can unlearn what no longer serves you and step into confidence, clarity, and self-trust.
As a licensed psychotherapist (Registered ASW, CA) with a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from California State University, East Bay, I specialize in trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, and attachment-based work with a focus on women’s empowerment. My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based techniques that help clients move past emotional roadblocks and heal deeply ingrained wounds.
With a background in journalism, international relations, and business consulting, I bring a broad, nuanced perspective to therapy. I understand firsthand the challenges of navigating cultural identity, balancing personal and professional roles, and breaking free from societal expectations. Whether you’re struggling with burnout, anxiety, trauma, or relationship challenges, I help you reconnect with your inner strength and build a life that feels truly your own.
I offer in-person sessions in Burlingame, CA, and virtual therapy for clients across California. My practice is open to women from all walks of life, especially those seeking a therapist who understands the complexities of cultural transitions and self-reinvention.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Therapy with me is a collaborative, down-to-earth process. I bring warmth, curiosity, and even a little humor into our work together—because healing doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. My role is not to give you all the answers but to guide you toward discovering them for yourself.
I integrate EMDR, attachment-based therapy, and person-centered techniques to help you process emotions, release old patterns, and build a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether we’re addressing past trauma, self-doubt, or the stress of juggling multiple roles, my approach is always tailored to your unique needs.
This is a space where you can be yourself—fully and unapologetically. I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, so I make it a priority to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space. You don’t have to have it all figured out before coming in—just taking this first step is enough.
I work with women who are ready to step into their confidence and reclaim their power. Whether you’re dealing with burnout, anxiety, cultural pressures, or relationship struggles, I’m here to support you in creating meaningful change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our first session is all about getting to know you—your story, your goals, and what’s bringing you to therapy. I want to understand not just the challenges you’re facing, but also what strengths you bring to the table.
Together, we’ll create a therapy plan that fits your needs. If you’re looking for structured trauma healing, I may suggest EMDR to help process painful experiences in a safe and effective way. If you need more insight and self-exploration, we may focus on attachment-based therapy to understand how past relationships have shaped your present. No two clients are the same, so I tailor my approach based on what feels most helpful for you.
Sessions are interactive and conversational—not just passive talk therapy. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, challenge limiting beliefs, and help you develop tools to create meaningful change. At the same time, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about building long-term self-trust and emotional resilience.
Whether you need short-term support for a specific challenge or long-term therapy to work through deeper patterns, we’ll check in regularly to make sure the process is working for you. My goal is that you leave therapy feeling more grounded, confident, and in charge of your own life.
